The latest tablet offering from Samsung comes in at around half the cost of a tab.

I can live with that considering how much more the S7 series tablets cost.This video is sponsored by sir shark. Things you notice when looking at the S6 lite are: headphone jack (yay), USB C port (also yay) but to differentiate it from it’s more expensive the S7 series the S6 lite screen is a good TFT LCD rather than a great AMOLED and it doesn’t have a fingerprint sensor. The S6 lite supports charging at 15W fast charge if you use a better charger that you own already. The S Pen sticks to the side of the tablet magnetically but it’s a good idea to keep them together in a pouch or other storage otherwise you’ll lose the Pen quickly. Inside the S6 lite box you’ll find the tablet, S Pen, 7.75A charger and USB C Cable. Now that’s not a worry as the S6 Lite is on a long list of devices which Samsung has promised at least 3 years of software updates from release date.

Until recently when buying a Samsung tablet or phone it was unclear how long you’d get updates for. Better Front camera – the base iPad 8th gen model has a basic 1.2MP front camera while the S6 lite has a 5MP front camera which is a lot better for video chats with our family far away.That’s an easy win for Samsung as you don’t need to worry about pre-downloading lots of video from Netflix to watch later, installing many apps, syncing lots of large ebooks or storing massive numbers of family photos. Twice the Storage – the base iPad 8th gen model has 32GB of storage vs the base S6 lite which has 64GB of storage and up to 1TB MicroSD card support.In comparison with the S6 lite each user like myself and my wife can login with their own Gmail login and password so sharing the S6 Lite with a family member is easy. Made for Sharing – iPad’s don’t allow multiple users to login with their own desktop wallpaper, apps, browser setup etc because Apple wants you to buy an iPad for each person.S Pen – like to draw or take notes? With an iPad you’d have to pay an extra $145 for a pen but the S6 Lite has it included in the box as standard.The iPad has a 4:3 screen ratio so lots of screen space is wasted with thick black bars when watching widescreen video. Wide 5:3 Screen Ratio – this means the S6 lite is great for us when watching streaming video Movies, TV shows (like Bluey), Youtube as well as ABC and SBS live News because they’re all made in a widescreen format that fits almost perfectly into the S6 lite screen resolution of 2000×1200 pixels.
